Too late to add insulation to your Bridgetown house?
It's never too late. Older homes often see the biggest savings from blown in insulation upgrades.
Your Bridgetown house is 20+ years old and you're feeling the drafts. You're wondering if you missed the window to add insulation, or if upgrading now is worth the investment. The good news is simple: it's never too late.
Older homes in Bridgetown often have minimal insulation by today's standards. Houses built 20-30 years ago typically have R-19 or less in the attic when current recommendations call for R-38 to R-49. Poor insulation shows up as high energy bills, uneven temperatures, and rooms that never feel comfortable.
Blown in attic insulation typically costs $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot in the Cincinnati area. For a typical 1,500 square foot house, expect to pay $2,000 to $5,000 depending on current insulation levels and access. Most homeowners see the investment pay for itself within 3 to 5 years through lower heating and cooling bills.
Start with a free insulation assessment to see what you're working with. Look for contractors who can show you exactly where heat is escaping and calculate potential savings. Central Insulation Systems Inc. has been upgrading Cincinnati-area homes since 1988 and can blow Owens Corning Atticat insulation into your existing attic space without major construction.
Once upgraded, you'll notice more consistent temperatures throughout your house and lower monthly energy bills. Your HVAC system won't work as hard, and those cold spots near exterior walls will disappear.
What people in Bridgetown say
"THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE."
"I worked with Kevin Con, their field specialist. Kevin talked to me over the phone for quite awhile to make sure that I had a good estimate and knowledge of the procedure. The team came out early and they were efficient in the processes. I would highly recommend them especially because they worked so closely with our roofing team to get the job done in one day."
"I am just so happy. They came out on a Tuesday (the owner Steve and his son) and took a look and had a crew of 2 out for me the next day! They got there at 8:30 am and all was completed by 2:00. The follow up was excellent. I could just go on and on. I am very impressed and want to insulate everything NOW because they were so excellent!"
